Trump's proposal is ILLEGAL & amounts to an indiscriminate funding cut for research centers of all sizes, NOT just Ivies. It will mean shuttering labs across the country, layoffs in red & blue states, & derailing lifesaving research on everything from cancer to opioid addiction.

This is why Chinese nicknamed Trump “川建国” (trump build-China). Thanks to Trump, China can now build its own chips, have its own AI, 10/11 top universities by Nature index are in China, Stanford and MIT are ranked behind. Next up, China will soon surpass US in biomed/biotech.

“Fear is contagious, and so is hope.” Delighted to attend the dinner with President Mung Chiang and learned that our commitment to research is still strong; we have no plan to change our operations at this moment, and our door is open via movable dream hire

In these turbulent times, science still needs to go on! It was a great pleasure to visit Penn/CHOP to talk about our #SCN2A work and meet wonderful scientists. Many thanks to Ethan Goldberg — my fellow sodium channel enthusiast — for the kind invitation!

The NIH funds 4,400 active projects totaling $2.5 billion in Texas, much of it in Houston. These cuts violate the law, hurt people, and undermine the very system of scientific research & groundbreaking advancements that we are so proud happen in #TX07. houstonchronicle.com/politics/artic…

The study section I suppose to participate was also cancelled in a sudden manner. NIH fund was allocated by the Congress to make American healthy. We should urge our lawmakers to stand up again this madness. thetransmitter.org/funding/federa…

President Trump and Elon Musk’s funding cuts to groundbreaking medical research do NOT Make America Great. That’s why I’m on the Senate floor introducing a resolution pledging support for NIH & asking for immediate passage. Watch. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

There are days in life that shake you. I’m shattered 💔 to share that I just found out that the US Government terminated my 2024 NIH Director’s Early Independence Award (~$2 million), threatening my long-promised assistant professor job at Columbia University & academic career... 1/🧵

Since the 1940s, the engine driving U.S. economic and military competitiveness has been federal support of research universities. Now Trump is sabotaging a research and development pipeline that is the envy of the world.
